In my line of work we use to make an advance payment to our contractor and then set a repayment schedule based on a certain percentage (20%) less off from the amount of work completed each month will be deducted until the full amount of the advanced payment is recovered.
For example, the Contract amount is $10,000 the Advanced Payment amount is 10% which is $1000
Repayment method is 30% less off from each month of the work done.
On the start of the month 10% is paid = $1000 as the advanced payment.
At the end of the month if the Contractor complete 30% ($3000) of the work he will be paid $2100 ($3000 less $900 (which is 30% of $3000)). At the end of the second month if the Contractor complete 40% ($4000) of the work he will be paid $3900 as by then the balance of the repayment is only $100. The following month there will no more any deduction of advanced payment is the full amount is already recovered.
The above is a simple example and what I need help is a formula to apply to calculate the repayment that will ensure not to exceed the Advance Payment amount.
Thank you
